The trial followed an expos vrt developing from the panic of 190" - when the institution went to the wall when depleted by reckless investments on worthless security. A principal factor in the insolvency was the carrying of bonds of Omaha and Tacoma telephone companies, sold to the bank by Louis J. Wilde, a finan cler of Los Angeles. Upon liquidation by Thomas 'C.

Lowlt committed suicide recent ly in Denver and his bondsmen were exonerated. Moore, after turning over Ms personal fortune to the credit of the bank, escaped punishment. Civil suit axalnst Moore, Morris and the directors of the bank was Insti tuted by Receiver Devlin over a year ago. to compel the return of the funda alleged to have been dissipated by them.
